The catcher had a calf issue this past spring but has since gotten some rehab games in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTerrible news for Jordan,\u201d Lovullo said. \u201cHe\u2019s going to be fine. We\u2019re going to make the most of this time where he\u2019s down. He\u2019s going to get some outfield work.

The no-doubter went 424 feet to left-center field.<\/p>\n<p>Lawlar, however, was later hit by a pitch and was removed from the game. Initial <a href=\"https:\/\/arizonasports.com\/mlb\/arizona-diamondbacks\/jordan-lawlar-injury\/3616670\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X-rays<\/a> were negative, though a CT scan on Friday showed the break.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tough pill to swallow for Lawlar after making the Opening Day roster for the first time in his career following a position switch to the outfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to play and I\u2019m here to help this team win games as much as I can defensively, offensively,\u201d Lawlar told reporters Friday. \u201cI get a lot of joy from playing on that field, so I want to keep playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More roster moves on the way for Diamondbacks<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Lawlar, the Diamondbacks are making a pitching change.<\/p>\n<p>The team has selected right-handed pitcher Taylor Rashi and designated righty Joe Ross for assignment ahead of Friday\u2019s game against the Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tdrake4sports\" data-show-count=\"false\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Follow @Tdrake4sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arizonasports.com\/arizona-sports-newsletter-signup\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AZSportsEmail-830x100-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"mobile-signup\"\/>\t&#13;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AZSportsEmail-830x100-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"desktop-signup\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Arizona Diamondbacks are placing outfielder Jordan Lawlar on the 10-day injured list, manager Torey Lovullo told Arizona&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2404],"tags":[146,22,4314,5,38,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-661632","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-diamondbacks","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-diamondbacks","10":"tag-arizonadiamondbacks","11":"tag-baseball","12":"tag-diamondbacks","13":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116343134498469618","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
